Your cervix during menstruation will be lower in your vagina, also firm and closed. If you were to feel your cervix or bump it the cervix may be more sensitive during menstruation so you may feel a menstrual cramp type sensation. If you search for Beautiful Cervix Project you'll find a great web site with photos of the cervix throughout the menstrual cycle which can help you figure out how your cervix looks and what it might feel like during menstruation.
The cervix is usually located low, firm, and closed 10 days before your period. It may also feel slightly tilted and moist. Tracking cervical position can help in predicting fertility and ovulation.
The question here should really be when CAN you feel your cervix
Yes, it is normal and healthy to be able to feel your cervix during self-cleaning. However, if you experience any pain, discomfort, or unusual changes in your cervix, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
The baby is probably engaging/dropping. getting ready to be born
It is very normal to feel nauseous during your period due to the pain you may experience as well as hormones
Yes
It is normal to feel like you want to have sex on your period. A woman's hormones are going wild when on their period.
During intercourse, the cervix may be pushed upwards and backwards, away from the vaginal canal. This movement can vary based on a person's anatomy and the position being used for intercourse. The cervix also produces mucus to help facilitate the passage of sperm into the uterus during sexual activity.
It is completely normal.
During ovulation the cervix is soft, high,open and wet. Around the time of menstruation the cervix is low and hard. I've heard OB/GYNs making this analogy when referring to a pregnant vs. non-pregnant cervix: A non-pregnant cervix feels like a hard, unripe piece of fruit, while a pregnant cervix is more like an almost over-ripe plum. It becomes very tender and engorged with blood, especially early on in pregnancy.In the early stages of pregnancy you may notice that your cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. You may see the change in your cervix shortly before your period is due or you may not feel this for several weeks.As the pregnancy progresses you will probably have an increase in vaginal discharge, but the cervical mucous is fairly minimal during pregnancy. Some women may notice a change in their cervix in very early pregnancy but cervical position is not a good sign of pregnancy. That is because the cervix changes not only from woman to woman but from day to day and could even be different in the same woman at different times of the day. I would recommend to check your cervix right after your period ends and check it every day, at the same time, in the same position. That way you know how your cervix is suppose to feel at what point during your cycle and if it doesn't feel that it's suppose to you could use that to help you determine pregnancy. For a woman that doesn't check her cervix regularly I would say it's next to impossible to determine if she's pregnant or not by checking it. Your cervix should be high just like during ovulation, except closed. It will also still feel soft, more like lips. Unless you've been checking your cervix consistently there is almost no way to tell where you are in your cycle through this method. Remember to wash your hands before you check, but other than that, you should have no problems with infection. Just don't get your hopes up that you'll be able to detect pregnancy through your cervical position, especially if you haven't been monitoring it's position already.
Response 1: You should not be attempting to feel your cervix at any time during pregnancy. Please leave this to your physician to do--if you were to use too much pressure or attempt to insert anything into your vagina, you might end up doing damage to your unborn baby. Until the very end stages of pregnancy, the cervix is thick and closed, and about all you can feel or see is the very outside of the opening (called the os) where the baby will eventually come out of. There is no reason the cervix should be felt, unless there are complications, after your initial OB visit, until you are close to your due date (usually about a month from it is when most physicians will start checking to see if you have dilated).Response 2: I think the reality is, never insert anything dirty or sharp into the vagina. Common sense everyone. Unless you already know that you have some sort of problem that would prohibit self examination or sex during pregnancy, please go somewhere else for the proper research and answer to this question, which was valid, important, and completely natural for a woman who wanted to know. There are many amazing websites out there that show pictures of the cervix and provide accurate and interesting information. You can feel your cervix.
If you are not a doctor or midwife there is no way you should be feeling your cervix, you could easily introduce an infection which could be fatal to you and/or your baby. Keep your fingers out and wait until you go into labor.
